2548A White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10467

The 4-story, 6-unit residential building at 2548A White Plains Road, owned by Barry Singer and constructed in 2008, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is a recent carbon monoxide detector safety complaint from February 2025 that could not be fully investigated due to access issues. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with three separate complaints in May 2022 alone, though some were resolved before inspection.

Additionally, significant water leak issues were documented in late 2024, resulting in violations, and there have been multiple electrical system concerns including power outages and lighting failures. The property currently has several open violations from a September 2024 inspection, including problems with fire retardant material, handrails, mold, and water leaks in common areas. There are also unresolved safety issues involving the public hall infrastructure, including ceiling repairs and handrail security.

A notable controversy emerged in 2020 regarding unauthorized construction work at the ground floor, resulting in active ECB violations with a $2,500 penalty, though there was a Partial Stop Work Order issued at that time. While the building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations (with all reports indicating 0 infested units), rodent activity has been consistently documented, with recent inspections in 2023 showing rat presence. The property has undergone multiple inspections through various city agencies, revealing a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly relating to basic services like heat, hot water, and water management systems.
